You will be expected to pay the difference at the end of the policy.

Have a clear process to report claims
...and make sure your employees know about it. This will make the entire experience easier for all involved.

Report every incident- even if it didn't result in a large injury. Some things which seem insignificant can snowball into costly issues.
